Absolute masterpiece. It deserves more than the 68 that it has here on Metacritic.

The monster battles were good but not as Epic as I was hoping and the special effects didn't really impress me as much as I thought they would.

The plot of the movie is centered around a family that I developed no attachment whatsoever to, so maybe that's why I was a bit underwhelmed with this film. Its certainly not bad, but could have been much better with a stronger cast, as a large part of the film is based around the families story rather than big monsters smashing stuff up.… Expand

Not quite what I was hoping. Avoided combat scenes extremely often, almost entirely till the last 20 minutes. It was upsetting bc every time that something good was going to happen it just switched scenes.

If you enjoyed the previous Godzilla movies, this one is not so different. They could of done a better job with the main character however it is worth watching.

Amazing monsters and beautiful(ly tragic) cityscapes are in no short supply, and the lighting and cinematography are there to match. The monsters themselves have a story (albeit somewhat clumsily exposited by the human cast) that is actually compelling.

Sadly, however, this movie - like many creature features before it - suffers from "cardboard human syndrome." The human characters are largely flat, uninteresting, and shallow as a kiddie pool, whose only purpose is to serve as a vehicle to deliver the awesome monsters. This would be fine, if the movie didn't spend three quarters of its screen time devoted to the humans, and not the aforementioned awesome monsters.

But, come on. It's giant monsters battling in gorgeously rendered cityscapes. That's why we watch it, that's why we love it. Still, even a little bit of depth in the human characters would be nice.

On a side note, Watanabe and Cranston give by far the best deliveries in the film, which is sad considering their soap opera dialogue and relegation to bit parts. Such a glorious waste of talent.… Expand

The redesign and reintroduction of the king of monsters is fantastic and he is truly mesmerizing when on screen. Just don't expect to him being on screen too much. There's a lot of focus elsewhere for big chunks of the movie such as when we're with the human characters or the other monsters in the film. It's not that these portions of the film aren't good but after a while you do expect to see a bit more Godzilla in a film called 'Godzilla'. It's like when you go to see a band and the support act is good but have an obnoxiously long set so you're standing there thinking "Okay you guys aren't bad but you're not the reason I came here. Wrap it up." But when the headliner finally appears it is just un-freaking-believable.
The acting is decent though not outstanding. Bryan Cranston puts in the best performance but that was kind of a given. Birds fly really well, fish swim really well and Bryan Cranston acts really well. Aaron Taylor Johnson has the most screen time and there's nothing really wrong with his performance it's just not his most impressive one. Although that's mainly because the writing of them film rarely calls for him to show anything other than worry, angst or fear.
Could it be better? Yeah but it's still a huge leap in the right direction, a triumphant return for everyones favourite kaiju. For people new to the franchise it would be a great introduction. For those long time fans it is tremendously satisfying to see Godzilla have his dignity restored more than a decade since the last horrific attempt that we can all finally forget about.… Expand

Above average high-budget CG (partly thanks to Andy Serkis), plot can be weak and predictable, but the climatic battle has plenty of redonkulously uplifting fan service. You get the feeling that director Gareth Edwards forgot that if you're doing a franchise reboot, you have a checklist to fill out, and he only remembered this late into the film. Also this film dabbles in the same mistake that the Transformers films in that there way to much focus, on the unimportant humans, but luckily to much less of a degree due to both doing it less, and recognizing that giant monsters are not the best at giving intellegible dialogue. Watanabe plays the only person who knows what the hell is going on, but we get stuck with Johnson's character who is exhibiting far less intelligence about the situation than he should be. It's not a bad movie, it's just a movie that clearly shows you that it can be better. For a sequel, either Evans needs to learn how a giant monster movie should work, or Legendary should hand it over to either Guillermo Del Toro, Neill Blomkamp, or the Wachowskis.… Expand

In addition, the sound mixing on this one is out of this world good. Now, what holds back Godzilla? It is a Godzilla movie, so it would have nice to see more attention paid to him than the other monsters. I love his amount of screen time, but he does not dominate that screen time in any way. Additionally, it is a popcorn flick. Inherently, it feels formulaic and too predictable. At no moment are you truly surprised by the path taken by the film and this prevents it from being even better. As it stands though, Godzilla is a very good film that entertains readily.… Expand

Godzilla and the Muto are great, the look cool and when they fight it's great, but we don't see much of it, mainly just in the end. The titular character is mostly just treated as a backdrop for the human conflict, which while watching Aaron Taylor Johnson's and Bryan Cranston and their struggle wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. The middle of the movie was pretty boring. We get to see Godzilla for the first time (as in all of him) and right before a huge fight starts, the movie cuts away and we don't see any of it.

If only its story was half as good as these elements. The plot basically boils down to giant monsters traveling to a meeting point to fight. The plot starts out more emotionally and character driven than you would expect, but eventually you begin to realize that these characters are not very well written and sorta boring. The filmmaking and acting elevates the movie into good territory and it has a handful of jaw dropping moments so I'd still recommend it. But it's still not what the filmmakers or trailer promised. That would have been The Dark Knight of monster movies, but settling for a decently entertaining diversion isn't the worst thing considering that it could have been a disaster.… Expand

This Godzilla reboot is both massive and highly unique, and the directing is just something spectacular. Gareth Edwards is one director I’m not familiar with, but with this movie he truly kept me interested. The things that truly stands out with this movie is the epic soundtrack, the CGI and massive and unique scenes that I never have seen before. There are much awesome things with this movie, but it got some critical downsides. The aspects of the movie that I find most disturbing is that there could have been more scenes with Godzilla, it felt like the focus of the film is on other things. Another critical thing is that it could have had more action sequences, and that some choices that some characters did isn’t well thought through. Aaron Taylor-Johnson isn’t the best actor for the main role, I think they should focused more on Bryan Cranston, who is an flawless actor. The final critical thing with Godzilla is that one of the main characters died, and I think that ruined the movie, but also that the ending could have been more entertaining.

My conclusion of Godzilla is that it’s an cool and massive movie that's well directed, but it got some critical things that lowers my rating.

While this genre is quite old, it doesn't stop this re-make being of a decent quality. A nice twist in the story keeps originality flowing, but the genre has been worn thin to where a sequel to this remake would spoil everything.

Since the original concept involves rock 'em, sock 'em fights between giant monsters as puny humans watch their cities crumble in the crossfire,It's an enjoyable movie. More than most remakes, it remains very true to the original concept. Since the original concept involves rock 'em, sock 'em fights between giant monsters as puny humans watch their cities crumble in the crossfire, there's a limit to how auspicious this new film can get. It's pretty close to that limit.

The concept is revised for modern times, cleverly and disturbingly working in some of our modern experiences with nuclear energy. Some of the film's strongest work is a visit to the ruins surrounding a destroyed power plant in Japan, a chilling reminder of recent history. It's good enough to keep your attention while you wait for the monsters to appear. The movie builds suspense for a while, but don't worry. The mayhem is coming.

The effects are very strong, and seeing this movie in a good theater with IMAX and/or 3D is advisable. This being an American production Godzilla seems to be illustrating our obesity problem, but he works. The score is a bracing homage to early film music, with a bit of Japanese flavor sprinkled in. There isn't a great deal of ceremony or sentimentality. The tone is very appropriate and conveys a sense of cosmicism. That is, the lesson of Godzilla is that the universe is bigger than us.

There are some fetching lines of dialogue, but the human characters aren't particularly developed. The Bryan Cranston character is probably the most compelling one in the movie simply because he is trying to do something productive, while the others occasionally act but spend most of the film sitting and watching the larger goings on. Which, to my way of thinking, is fine. You're not going to see a movie called "Godzilla" for the people in it. Ultimately, the film's suspense and action, summoned skillfully by a surprisingly newfound director, make it worth seeing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For fans it might be a disappointing movie because the movie seems to enjoy showing Godzilla for a few minutes and taking him away when you expect him to fight with the other monster. I get that - also terrible acting by the lead and the guy that you get to connect with dies after 15 minutes. However if you did not have orgasms about the movie before you saw it or if you have never hear of Godzilla before, it is a good monster movie - keeps the suspense till the last minute and pretty nice effects and brutal killing. This might be a franchise starter unlike the 90s hollywood version which sucked. Also liked the ancient apex predator thing, it is a small thing but a very smart way to make the experience more relatable and realistic. This movie is like the Man of Steel of the Superman franchise; it is there to divide audience into two groups almost equal in size, it certainly has cool destruction scenes and the tone of a thriller. I generally liked it but I doubt that I would watch it again if somehow it gets streamed on television sometime later.… Expand

Directed - Gareth Edwards

Starring - Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe In 1954 the Toho Film Company made a picture about a huge dinosaur-like monster that rampaged through Tokyo. It was only 93 minutesDirected - Gareth Edwards

Starring - Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe

In 1954 the Toho Film Company made a picture about a huge dinosaur-like monster that rampaged through Tokyo. It was only 93 minutes long but it spawned a legend that has lasted 60 years and 28 (Japanese) films. I am, of course, referring to the colossus that is Godzilla.

Fast forward to 2014 and the newest incarnation of the world's most famous kaiju. Godzilla is an icon and the director, Gareth Edwards, had a mammoth task to overcome; how to bring the monster into the 21st Century without angering the fans.

The film begins with some original opening credits; words are redacted before the viewers' eyes, leaving only the names of the cast. This plays out over footage, supposedly from the 1950s, showing radars, military personnel and, finally, a large nuclear explosion at Bikini Atoll (the first of many references to actual events and /or classic Godzilla movies ).

We jump to 1999 and meet Dr. Ichiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) who is investigating the skeleton of a large, prehistoric creature found in the Philippines. Then we zoom over to Japan where Joe Brody (Bryan Cranston) is concerned about the nuclear plant where he works. Disaster obviously ensues and what follows is a sequence reminiscent of the Fukushima disaster which occurred only a few years ago.

And now we are up to date. Joe's son, Ford, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, is happily living in San Francisco with his wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and young son.

At this point I would like to say that I was slightly disturbed at watching these two young actors playing lovers as, in my head, they are the Maximoff siblings (I know, I know, it's not real but I can still have my opinion).

Father and son are eventually reunited and that's where the action really begins.

Cranston is brilliant as a father who feels like he has lost it all; both traumatised and unhinged in equal measure. Watanabe is the yin to Cranston's yang; calm and collected to a point where some of his dialogue is barely above a whisper.

The younger actors; Taylor-Johnson and Olsen, are not as strong in their roles. Olsen is not given much to do except cry and run. In fact, one downside of this movie is that there is a distinct lack of strong female characters.

Taylor-Johnson has a larger part to play but he doesn't quite fulfil the leading man role. He isn't entirely convincing as an action star but neither plausible as desperate family man. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a good actor but he wasn't given enough to work with. The script is basic with Cranston's impassioned ranting (heard in the trailer) as the only stand out part.

But to most, it isn't the human cast that people care about. Does the 2014 version of Godzilla make the grade? In short, yes. He bears a resemblance to the original creature but without the look of a rubber suit. You could believe that there is a dinosaur-like monster out there. As you have probably gathered from the many trailers, Godzilla isn't the only kaiju in the movie but I will leave what they are, and why they are there, as a surprise.

And then there is THAT roar. Spine tingling with a bass deep enough to turn your internal organs to mush, perfect.

At several points in the film, just as the audience thinks it might be treated to a monster smackdown, the focus is always pulled back to the less interesting human story. However, the final battle is worth waiting for, if not a little short. Gareth Edwards has held enough back for the inevitable sequel (pending box office results).

There are small niggles here and there but I was always a fan of the King of Monsters (another classic reference) and there is enough here to remind us of the creature we fell in love with.

Bonus points if you spot the reference to another kaiju which appears in the first half of the film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All over I think this movie is an example for a good "monster movie", which should be watched in the cinema. All effects, started at Godzilla himself over to explosions and so on, and also the sound are worthy for the cinema. When I went to watch the movie I just saw the first trailer, so I was unbiased, because I heard some trailers after include "spoilers". That was good.

At the beginning the movie starts with a good pace, but then there is a lean period in the middle. The movie takes time to describe the characters and the background of Godzilla, etc. I don't think that it is as bad as it sounds but I wished there was more pace in this part of the movie. In addition in my opinion the character Ford Brody keeps a little bit pale. The love to his wife and his little son is illustrated very well but I think the relationship to his father is neglected. But this might be dedicated to the early death of his father. These are the only points of criticism. The rest of the movie is great. As I said the effects and especially the final fight are awesome!

Persons how know the "old" Godzilla will watch this movie with a little chuckle I think. Above all at the final fight.

I hope you'll like my first little review. (I apologize for my beginners English. Be patient with me, I promise to improve :-)… Expand

Good summer blockbuster that features visually impressive scenes. It has a few flaws but it gives hope that we'll see some big things from Gareth Edwards in the near future.

The only reason I can't give more score is that there isn't enough of Godzilla in it, and! the anti-climatic fight scenes during the half of the movie. Who cares about human drama! I don't! and the only thing I expect to see in Godzilla is a MASIVE monster fights! Well, it got all that but they just focused too much in human drama that the title monster feels like a secondary character or an Extra. Anyway, saying all this, the movie is very entretaing and you will walk out of the teater with a smile. Hope to see more Godzilla movies soon!… Expand

I thought they did a decent job building the suspense. I will admit it felt a little drug out once the first encounter between Godzilla and an MUTO occurred, Even 30 seconds of action there could have made the appetizer Edwards was trying to give us more filling.

They did an 'okay' job setting up the story, It was better than almost every Godzilla ever conceived but it felt like several different movies going on at once. Godzilla looked great, the action sequences involving Godzilla were great but in the end I don't really feel like I got enough, and came away a little disappointed as a result. Trading some Aaron Taylor-Johnson face time for Godzilla would have gone a long way.

As a fan of the series, I would have preferred Godzilla as an antagonist. It felt like making Godzilla this misunderstood savior of humanity, destroying buildings as collateral damage was hedging their bets a little much.… Expand

But I think from a human standpoint, the film is a little choppy. I never felt totally committed to the relationship between Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen's characters. But this movie is about Godzilla after all and his effect on society which the film does very well. Overall, in terms of an American remake on a Japanese classic, it's a solid film that is definitley worth the overpriced movie ticket.… Expand

I'm on the side of viewers that liked the idea of building tension for Godzilla, and the ending was pretty solid and ultimately a good climax. My criticisms include the poor acting from almost everyone other than Canston. Aaron Johnson is pretty bad guys, I don't think this kid can carry a lead role yet. I mean he has like two total expressions throughout the movie. He barely shows emotion from his father's death and gets over it extremely quick. Doesn't panic or seem to care when MUTO or Godzilla shows, that bothered me throughout the movie how poor of an actor he was. Visuals were great....but i don't understand the purpose for the NAVY skydiving out of that plane. All they did was land on the ground, they could've just flew down there with the plane.. The two monsters weren't worried about anyone else unless u attacked them. They were tryna fight each other. I guess that was evidently done for the purpose of a good stunt and visual nothing else. And yes MUTO probably overshadowed Godzilla a little bit. The MUTO did seem like it was the main monster for awhile. Overall, I can't really give this movie anything spectacular, it was good enough for me to enjoy however. Was not bad at all but nothing in this movie put it over the top. There were some errors that deducted it...… Expand

The storyline is great it makes all sense the action was mind blowing, as well as the special effects. This movie has great potential for awards in my eyes and I dear do hope it gains an award for the Oscars. It starts of a bit blunt but as you get further into this film you start to understand it a bit more as it shows photos and suspicious videos from 15 years ago or so. Godzilla is literally a God in this movie, he has incredible power and is perfect for the film.

Godzilla a must see movie for all!!!

Critic0Jul 1, 2014

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Right off the bat it seems like another summer movie and it is. But the brand name is so well known that it is impossible to overlook this film.

While it gives us a fresh start with the King of the Monsters (after that last movie), we never quite get enough of the feel that made the original Japanese film a classic, but then again I never saw that one and I regret it until I do. This one was just too Americanized.

The main problem was the people, they are just a drag. Bryan Cranston starts the film very strongly and the film would have benefited greatly if he were not killed off in the first 30 minutes. Aaron Tyler-Johnson is just too young to be a "good" actor, he needs practice and LOTS of it.

The monsters were typical Cloverfield monsters like always so they are disappointing. Come on, be more creative next time like the Japanese! But Godzilla himself was better than ever, even though many people have been critical of his "weight gain".

The main criticism that I for one am not very particular about is the fact there is barely any Godzilla at all. It was all about build up, guys. But in fact: Just get the cool shot, foot comes down, pan up slowly, close up shot, the King lets out a mighty ROAR!!! Cut to aftermath... Okay, I guess that's okay. But they did it again, and again, and again, and...

Okay, yes this film has problems but it was FAR better than the last American one, that Roland Emmerich disaster. I mean seriously, stop whining about this one and complain about the one with Ferris Beuller (That's a lot of fish.) I mean seriously.

Anyway, Godzilla is a faithful film, it lends the fans something to look forward to in the sequel(s) at least. But this one is just... passable. I guess I was expecting way too much from a series I barely know.… Expand

Although not a cinematic masterpiece by any means, Godzilla is in fact a monster-filled extravaganza that when the monsters are on screen (either Godzilla or the Muto's) is truly excellent. The Kaijus look fantastic and every shot feels like a painting of perfect coloring and composition.

Then, there's the human factor of the movie. Which holds it back from achieving excellent. I refuse to accept this tag-on human stories just because its "big budget Hollywood". That doesn't mean anything at all.

A lot of people complain that Godzilla is not in the movie often enough. That's true, yet there's no shortage of Monster mayhem thanks to the presence of the Mutos. Which are a fantastic addition to the roster of Kaijus in Godzilla's lore.

I honestly can't wait for a sequel to this movie. But as it stands, Pacific Rim is a better Kaiju movie overall, but when Godzilla is good and the monsters are on screen, it beats Pacific Rim. Yet, it's obvious that unlike Pacific Rim, Godzilla was not intended to be a pure Kaiju movie. It was intended to be part that and mostly a disaster movie. Which is not bad if the human aspect of the story was better...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sad to say this is my first time finally being able to see wht all the hype was about after being accosted by the many trailers and promos for my favorite movie monster whom i've had the distinct and sometimes not so distinct pleasure of seeing on both the large and small screen as a kid. Loved the various makeovers down through the years as 'zilla went from the ass kicking, one lizard demolition crew to being downright cute in the 70s and back to being a sleep deprived threat to humanity ( lemme tell ya...i'd be pissed too if someone awakened me from a sound sleep) and in the late 90s found a niche as Doritos spokeslizard. Yes, i have the nerve to refer to tht debacle of a movie tht in '98 tht should have remained on the cutting room floor. The only thing tht saved this movie from a much lower rating were the special effects (hence the rating of ''7'') along with the presence of Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Juliette Binoche and let us not forget the true star of this movie Godzilla who has of course been working out (check the well toned abs and beautiful white teeth and those ''guns''...niiiiiice! ). After having read the various reviews for this movie, i've noticed the many laments of ''not enough screen time or the murky darkness. At first glance, i too was wondering why the film was so dark and then i saw the final fight between Godzilla and the the mutos and then it hit me: if the fight was staged in broad daylight it would have a devastating effect visually...a waste of perfectly good special effects and who needs tht? I watch to be amazed...to feel the same thrill and awe I did when i first saw the original Gojira. I wanted to see his signature move and have it blow me away and it did just tht! His roar was incredible (awesome sound effects) ..the mutos could've used a little more ....originality in their design but were overall menacing enough to pass muster and quite possibly scare the candy corn out of u if u happen to be below the age of twelve. Because of the length of the movie i'm not entirely certain tht children would be patient enough to wait for the King of the Monsters appearance but once he does show it is well worth the wait. Ok. Anyone taking bets on whether there's a sequel in the works? Hopefully, the makers will improve upon the this treasured franchise enough to do it justice.… Expand

It has good characters that actually feel real, which is unique considering that most monster movie characters feel bland. However since there is more time donated to the humans in the film the monster aren't seen as much as I would like. Which leads to my biggest problem with the film, the monster fights are cut short. Most of the time in the movie we only see the beginning and end of the fight meaning we don't get to enjoy what made Godzilla infamous. Also they changed Godzilla's origin's, from an experiment gone wrong to a giant creature who lived in prehistoric times while feeding of radiation to survive, yet Godzilla lives at the bottom of the ocean so how does it get radiation?

This movie focuses more on the people that get caught in a battle between giant monsters and the ensuing destruction. The giant monsters are hidden from view for most of the film's duration, in an effort to build up suspense. Seeing Godzilla emerge from the water and scream for the first time is awesome. My favorite scene is the soldiers parachuting through clouds while Godzilla fights the MUTOs (what a horrible codename), it's an astounding vista. Human characters and their stories are OK, but it's lame to think they can affect the battle, and the whole Monarch arc story is great in theory but badly executed. The plot is pretty straight forward, as in "Godzilla comes to kill the MUTOs and then takes his leave", but at least this movie stays faithful to the original japanese movies. It's far better than Roland Emmerich's Godzilla film from 1998.… Expand

The real disaster in form of the timeless-classic "GODZILLA". Beside the meh script, Gareth Edwards visualized Godzilla in the most realistic yet cinematic EPIC like no other ever achieved!!

With the film nailing theGodzilla is great when it is what the trailers said it would be. The effects on Godzilla are amazing, the atmosphere created is perfect, and the action sights are some of the best to grace the cinema this summer. With the film nailing the elements of a Godzilla movie it is baffling while this is shoved into the background. The film instead focuses on a bunch of human characters who the audience is supposed to care about but it is difficult to when they are poorly developed and when you see glimpses of amazing fight scenes in the background you are screaming for the film to focus on that. Had the film cut down on the lengthy build up and just give us a straightforward monster fighting movie this could’ve been one of the highlights of the summer. Instead, the film makes the bizarre choice to not focus on those elements much resulting in a film that is sometimes awesome. This is a frustrating film as the atmosphere, build up, and payoff created are amazing but the film doesn’t seem interesting that. Why would you make a Godzilla movie if you aren’t going to focus on Godzilla? I am open to new interpretations of the story but it feels like a tease to provide such amazing action scenes but show not much interest them. Maybe I’d be more excepting if this film wasn’t called Godzilla. The film could’ve used any other random monster and the film would’ve meant even less. The action is amazing but unlike Pacific Rim I felt like it never got to fully payoff. I’m not really sure whether or not to recommend this because when this film is amazing it is amazing but those moments are mere seconds apart.… Expand

Dear Godzilla,

I really wanted to like you, like, like you like you, but I'm not so sure anymore. We had a good time though! I might have almost fallen asleep in the middle, but I was pretty tired from studying for finals. Still, theDear Godzilla,

I really wanted to like you, like, like you like you, but I'm not so sure anymore. We had a good time though! I might have almost fallen asleep in the middle, but I was pretty tired from studying for finals. Still, the last third of was SO awesome and fun that it almost made up for it. Almost. See, the problem is, I can't shake the feeling that you weren't... yourself the whole time. You were pleasant, and enthusiastic, and easy to follow, but the whole time I thought you were just hiding the whole story. You made sure to tell me you were sensitive, and caring, and had your heart in the right place, and that you have some of these crazy experiences in your life! But they're not that crazy so you might not want to hear about all of them but to trust you, because they're crazy. I don't care about how crazy these stories are, I care about the stories themselves, and how they affected you. But you insisted on moving on, and that was ok, and it was just ok. But when the whole thing was over, I felt like I'd seen all there was to see, but clearly that's not the case. Is it? If we ever do this again, which we should, I know you really want to, just be yourself. Don't hide what you think I might think is weird, stop telling me about things to impress me and just tell me things, and stop pretending to know what I care about so I can get a chance to know and care about you. Again, I did have fun, and I like you, but I don't see this really working out right away. Take a little while, figure out what you want, and maybe we can give this another chance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie is nothing special, something that will be forgotten by the end of the Summer. It falls into the cookie-cutter action movie mold. The majority of screen time is spent following the military to ridiculous extremes. In one scene Godzilla is actually traveling with aircraft carriers and other battleships as he "hunts"... military propaganda all around. You get the cliche tension between military/scientist as the military ignore multiple warnings regarding their impending f-up. The protagonist(a random civilian) constantly hitches rides with random units of the military, breaking every protocol imaginable. This happens over and over again until suspension of disbelief is near impossible. At one point in the movie the military decide to set off a nuke 20 miles off the coast to lure and kill the monsters, but for some reason they decide to arm the bomb in the San Francisco Bay... I just don't even...

The monster battles are pretty cool, but not worth sitting through two hours of garbage to see.

"Godzilla", a reboot of the legendary 1957 film and the god awful 1998 film, is a great summer disaster film to forget its flaws and enjoy the extraordinary visuals the movie has to boast.

I'm just not a Godzilla fan to begin with. I just wish humans had a bigger role in this film to save themselves. At least it wasn't terrible... also, I didn't realize that Godzilla likes to constantly take naps. He wakes up from the sea, fights, sleeps, fights some more, takes another nap, wins the last battle, and then goes back into the ocean to sleep until another giant monster appears.… Expand

In a polar opposite of the lighthearted rendition 16 years ago, Godzilla is now radioactively gloomy,Returning to his original fire hazard gigantic form, Godzilla delivers roaring monster mayhem despite some uneven pace and thin script. In a polar opposite of the lighthearted rendition 16 years ago, Godzilla is now radioactively gloomy, bringing a more nuclear oriented plot. It opens well with good human interaction for first half, but sadly the momentum dies down in lieu of gargantuan fight, which is somewhat acceptable and expected just by looking at the title.

The cast looks a bit stumbled with the sparse dialogue and repetitive scenes. Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Ford Brody does look the part of a marine with ancient history with unnatural disaster. He carries himself decently until the last act where he stares into the ruins or eyes of behemoth far too often. Ken Watanabe is utterly underutilized, channeling Mark Wahlberg from The Happening. He seems so confused the entire time, even at ordinary moments, and at rare scenes where he's given script, his role is reduced to giving catchphrases.

Bryan Cranston as Ford's father does a fine performance setting the somber tone at first half. His part is by far the most emotional one; it's a good set-up for the reveal and sells the menace of the creature. The movie works by building the anticipation and not prematurely showcasing the giant, although in some scenes the story progress is told by exposition, either by news or reports. It makes the encounters feel rather cut short, it could've used more visual delight before switching gear to next sequence.

Graphic has more somber atmosphere, at later parts the movie even embraces horror vibe, completely with eerie humming. The drab color palette adds more terror, there's little quizzical tone to be had here. While it's not as colorful as the recent monster movie Pacific Rim, the theme holds consistently. Effects are put to good use; unworldly battles are done with powerful impact. Camera angles often tease the massive beast, occasionally focusing on its scale or eye to enhance the size. Contrasting color, with each passing setting, delivers the solemn ambiance.

There is discrepancy while the story moves forward, human interaction is increasingly reduced towards the end. The movie could've maintained the relationship, but it is certainly lacking at last act. No amount of child actors put in dire situations, and one dog, can bait more sympathy from audience. Script itself is lacking, often leaving the characters glaring emotionless to the screen. A bit coincidence or plot luck is also at played to fit Ford Brody to the scenes, which understandable in disaster movie. Regardless of the flaws, Godzilla serves as a colossus carnage leaving destruction on its wake but not on the original material.… Expand

The first flaw in the film is that the protagonist of the film was a miserable fail because Aaron Taylor-Johnson simply cannot act. Sure, he did great in Kick-Ass but the reality is that those films are more silly in nature. Godzilla required him to deliver a few scenes that were more serious and emotional and he simply couldn't do it. Making his lack of acting chops even more apparent was the incredible acting of Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen. The other fail in the film was that they tried to artificially manufacture drama in order to add intrigue. All those things did was take away from the film. Honestly, I feel that this movie would've been so much better if it was about 30 minutes shorter. Johnson's lack of acting ability wouldn't have been so pronounced and the ridiculousness of the unrealistic drama wouldn't have existed. Those two adjustments and now we have a legitimately awesome Godzilla film.… Expand

The film has a great score, there are cool bits here and there, and there is a great climax towards the end, Pacific Rim style if a bit less ridiculously cool and the start of the film is great.

But no one can argue that it's a flawed film. It is too long, with too little Bryan Cranston, Japan, and Godzilla; and too much random military guys who do nothing - like good ol' Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

It's not a glowing endorsement of Gareth Edwards, but I don't understand some of the slating it's got -- or some of the praising it's got. Godzilla is an alright film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not in any way a bad adaption to the never-fading saga of the world's most famous monster. All I can say is there were great fight scenes, remarkable performance by Bryan Cranston, a somewhat back story. It is an enjoyable watch, there are parts at the end that will make most any viewer drop their jaw in awe of bad-assness. The real errors they made is killing off Cranston early on, could have ended up being a great father-son film rather than a separated husband-wife one, and they need to focus less on the military. I mean obviously the military is going to be largely involved, but it is in every movie like this. I love our troops, bravest men out there, but I came to watch a movie about this creature. Obviously there has to be some random made-up character's back story in order to get a point of view from someone and to fill two-thrids of the movie. Too bad the lead character was so bland, unmotivated and forgettable though. Like I said, it is an enjoyable watch. Godzilla himself definitely makes up for it.… Expand

But its not (at least not for me.) For a movie called Godzilla, Godzilla is barely in it. I'm aware that it was the same in the original (the original original, not the Broderick one) but the original was due to budget and the effects available at the time. 2014 Godzilla does not have that luxury. Even the Broderick Godzilla had more screen time.

Still when Godzilla is there, he's F**KING AWESOME!! I guess that is why it annoys me that he isn't in the movie more. Godzilla was done right. *sigh*

As for the non-Godzilla moments: Cranston is fantastic, I really wonder why on earth he wasn't in the movie more? Had he been a more central character for the whole movie, then this movie would have been absolutely brilliant. Watanabe is also great, but again, he's barely in the movie and his role feels mostly needless. As for the rest of the cast: *meh* nothing special.

Overall:
I guess as far as modern Godzilla movies are concerned this is the best we are going to get. I hope for the sequel they remember who the star is (see title for hint.)… Expand

Not only that but the whole final act shows a lot of Godzilla (in fact, the less interesting part to me).

Unenthusiastically voluntary to the story’s development and cardboard at their worst, it makes the overacted presence of the original films’ characters feel like Academy Award-worthy performances compared to these “characters”, who tend to take a lot from the film it really, really could’ve used. It’s not a bad film by any means and the breathtaking visual effects and setting still makes me excited for upcoming entries. But I wouldn’t nearly award the film as many re-views as I’ve given to even some of the least likable Gojira films that make up a lot of my childhood.… Expand
